Irvine Park Railroad Easter Eggstravaganza 2015

March 24, 2015
We just had our first egg hunt of the year at Irvine Park Railroad! Each kid was instructed to find eight eggs and unlimited candy.  The staff was careful in making sure that everyone left happy and safe, and I liked how each hunting session was categorized by age.  This year was especially meaningful for our family as it was my youngest daughter's very first egg hunt!  The staff dropped extra eggs by her side as she slowly picked them up for the camera.  

We also had a blast with the carnival games, jumpers, train ride, and cookie decorating.  All this took 2.5 hours and unfortunately we ran out of time for the bike and boat rides.  We'll definitely be back soon!    


Event Details: 

From now through Saturday, April 4th, Irvine Park Railroad will hold its annual Easter Eggstravaganza. Children and adults can ride the train through beautiful Irvine Regional Park.
